Some You g PIANIS Is.

From the Etude:: The number of
good pianists in America is increas-
ing every year. A fresh influx from
abroad occurs at the beginning Of
each season, aod then our home
made product is steadily waxing
greater; so that, to really achieve
eminence, one must be possessed OF
rare qualifications to outshine the
rest. In word, the standard is be-
coming higher every day. Out of the
vast array Of names that suggest
themselves, one is tempted by all
sorts and varieties OF talents. Mills,
Mason, Sherwood, in New York ;
Faelten, Baermann, Petersilea, in
Boston, Jarvis and Stankowitch, in
Philadelphia; Cecilia, Gaul, Ma
grath, Doerner, in Cincinnati; Bosco-
vitz, Woltshon, Liebliug, Seeboeck
and Hyllsted, in Chicago; the list is
overwhelming. All are artists splen-
didly equipped for their profession.
But there are some half dozen names
that naturally appear to one as rep
resentiDg the very acme Of the art
of piano playing. at least on this side
of the Atlautic-foreign artists, who
have taken up their abode in
America, and who, when
their youth is taken into
consideration, seem to promise so
much. Four sterling artists, Made
leine Schiller, Nine. Carreno, Mrs.
Morgan and Julia Rive King, have

Maestro VERDI,

From the Siqnale: Concerning
Verdi's bearing during the first per-
formance of Otelio the following re-
ports are received from Milan: Ad-
mission to the flies was refused under
all circumstances. At 8 o'clock the
veteran composer arrived, accom-
panied by Messrs. Ricordi aud Ar
rigo Boito. During the storm"
Verdi himself shook one of the zinc
plates that initiate thunder. After
a repetition of the chorus had been
demanded, the audience called for
Verdi, but he signed to the artists
that he was sverse to appearing on
the stage. At the close of the first
act the united artists surrounded
and congratulated the master.
Nothing special was remarked dur
ing the second act, that was listened
to by the composer as he stood near
a pillar. Mr.. Ricordi handed him
telegram from the King aud Queen
containing their best wishes for the
complete success Of Otetio At the
close of this act Verdi embraced
Maurel warmly, and repeated his
action in Tamagno's case although the
color OF "0tello's" face soon caused
him to desist. During the third
act the master remained in the near
vicinity OF the chorus, and kept time
with his foot. After the Ave Maria
had been sung by Nine. Pantaleoni,
he observed to this artist Bravo,
YOU understood that wellW The
lovely introduction to the fourth act
with the double BASES gave him
lively satisfaction. In general Verdi
seemed completely quiet and COM
posed during the performance, be-
coming just a little nervous just be-
fore the close Of the opera. At his
departure the immense masses await
ing his exit rendered him an enthu-
siastic ovation. His horses we're un-
harnessed, aud despite his indignant
protestatious, Verdi, who made an
unsuccessful effort to leave his car
riage, was dragged by the crowd to
his hotel. The gardens surrounding
his hotel were ablaze with an illumi,
nation, and in his apartments life
size portrait Of Verdi was hung dec
grated with wreaths. Verdi, over
come with fatigue, appeared upon
the balcony to thank the assembled
masses.
